In your system of reality you are learning what mental energy is, and how to use it. You do this by constantly transforming your thought and emotions into physical form. You are supposed to get a clear picture of your inner development by perceiving the exterior environment. What seems to be a perception, an objective concrete event independent from you, is instead the materialization of your own inner emotions, energy, and mental environment.

Expectations are the engines of our perceptions.

Hope without a strategy doesn’t generate leadership. Leadership comes when your hope and your optimism are matched with a concrete vision of the future and a way to get there. People won’t follow you if they don’t believe you can get to where you say you’re going.

Forget the cringing selves you sometimes are and remember, instead, the magic essence of your own being that sings even now through your fingertips. That is the reality which you are seeking. Experience it fully.

It is very important that you express your idealism actively, to what ever extent you can, for this increases your sense of worth and power.

Ordinary thinking and ordinary effort are almost never enough to generate leadership.

If you make a difference, people will gravitate to you. They want to engage, to interact and to get you more involved.
